It’s productivity Jim, but not as we know it. Now jokes aside, this may be one of the most important conversations we’ve had on the podcast to date. The word productivity or being ‘productive’ has some pretty negative connotations attached to it, but we’re shedding a new light on it, and for good reason.

In this episode, we’re joined by productivity expert and the genie for your genius, Louise Miller - where we discuss what productivity really is and debunk a few myths along the way. If you’ve ever felt frazzled by your to-do list, and overwhelmed by the tasks left undone this episode is for you.

Here’s a taster of the gold dust we uncover:

  • Louise shares her journey from a burned out 9-5 employee to helping coaches, consultants, and community-builders make a bigger impact in the world, in a gentler way

  • Learn about Louise’s radical slower, kinder approach to productivity and how she helps her clients get done what actually matters without feeling exhausted

  • Why everything starts with a pause

  • We discuss Gretchen Rubin’s ‘The Four Tendencies’ and how understanding this can help you to identify what support you need

  • How burn out doesn’t always come from just doing too much, and how our productivity shouldn’t be tied to our value

  • The one thing Louise wants you to know as a soulful business owner

Here are some links to the goodies we discussed in the episode:

More about Louise:

Louise is on a mission to change the world by helping her clients change the world.

She partners with coaches, consultants, and community-builders with big visions, helping them turn ideas into reality, reach more people, and make a bigger impact—all while managing the day-to-day juggle, and being kind to themselves along the way.

Described by clients as a "soothing balm" and "magician," Louise's own experience with work-related stress and anxiety inspired her to create a mindful, slower approach to productivity, helping clients focus on what truly matters and get the important things done.
